Each one offers something different. A student can get into a school of choice one of two ways; by lottery drawing, or application into the school of choice. The lottery drawing is conducted on the last Thursday of February, unless holidays interfere.[2] There are no requirements for the Schools of Choice except for the Northside Engineering Academy and the Early College Academy. Each program has its own capacity for students, although around 100 students will be excepted. If the student is not accepted, then the legal guardian must enroll them in a home zoned school.
[edit] Fall Frenzy
Fall Frenzy is a day in the fall, usually in November, when any student that is zoned for a Lafayette Parish school may come to the convention center to explore the academies. Students can get information about a School of Choice, and learn about the daily activities. Parents can also get information about any prerequisites that the academy may have. Each School of Choice sets up a booth that displays graphics, etc. Each student can stop at a booth and learn about that specific School of Choice.
